SUMMARY: The theme for this year's camporee is “Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?” The Camporee staff has planned an exciting weekend of fun and Scouting Skill Competitions to challenge all scouts. Some of the events are: Patrol competition in Pioneering, Orienteering, Fire Building, Team-Building, First Aid, Astronomy, Dutch Oven Cooking and more. There will be campsite inspection and gateway awards. Also don’t forget the Saturday Night Campfire with skits and award.

As the Historian, I visited the Scout Headquarters in January where they let me look in old file cabinets and I found an old troop charter dated 1966. Then, Dr. McCammack (the minister of this church) gave me an audio cassette with the history of Palomar camp. I found that a boy named Albert Long chose the name “Palomar Baptist Camp” for the camp, and he was given a 10-cent candy bar as his reward.
